Our Focus

If you are a Kiwi male who has suffered sexual abuse. You are not alone. 1 in 6 males in Aotearoa have experienced sexual violence as young men.

You have chosen the right place to begin your recovery journey. We can help you reclaim the life that was stolen from you.

We are here to walk with you… moving towards a better future.

People don’t always need advice. Sometimes they just need a hand to hold, an ear to listen and a heart to understand.

Hapaitia te ara tika pamau ai te rangatiratanga mo nga uri whakatipu

We work with male survivors and their family/whanau to help them build happier and healthier lives. We offer support services that are founded on mutual trust and respect, are non-judgmental, focused on hope and recovery. We believe that all survivors are entitled to make their own decisions and choose their own recovery pathway. We are here to support that choice.
